Mange/Scabies

We acquired a new puppy recently from a rescue kennel in Orlando. It turns out he had mange, the type that is contagious to humans. Not I get the little bumps and terrible itching from the mites burrowing in the skin. Does anybody know of any home remedies to counteract this problem? I'm scheduled to see a dermatologist, but can't get in until next month.
